Computer won't power on - sleeping?

My s3320f desktop is about 6 years old and I'm having a problem now where the computer won't power on. The amber light on the PSU comes on steady but nothing else happens. I had put the computer to sleep using the start button and it powered down normal (there is no light on the power button - should it be amber?). Any suggestions on how to get this computer to power on? I've tried a new power cord, holding the power button for 30 seconds w/o being plugged in, and a new CMOS battery. In the past, I sometimes get a flashing amber power button and have to cut power to get it to stop - does that indicate anything?

Hello tizzy,
I have read your post on how your computer is not able to power on, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
Have you added any new software or hardware recently to your desktop?
Is your computer plugged directly into a wall outlet?
In the meantime, I recommend following this document on Computer Does Not Start (Windows Vista). This should help enable your computer to startup once again.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Computer won't wake from sleep; shuts-down unexpectedly

I've got older PB (2004). This just started happening. The computer will not wake from sleep, either when I close the screen or manually put it to sleep. I have reset the PRAM and PMU, but no change. Further, it now shuts itself down unexpectedly. Sometimes a hear the fan going hard before it shuts down, other times it just shuts down. It won't turn back on unless I reset the PMU. I think the battery and the cable are fine. I don't have anything plugged into the computer when it does this (other than power cable). Any suggestions?

Hello Matt,
This is just to let you know that I have had the same thing happen to me this week and that I plan to closely follow your thread so that hopefully I may benefit from your responses. I, too, am using an older Powerbook (15", 1.33 MHz) and OS 10.3.9.
My problem began several days ago when I set up my first wireless router. Once it was up and running I set out to re-locate the router to the farthest point in my house. While traveling back and forth between the router and my laptop, I suddenly found that my laptop was totally blank and unresponsive (although the power light was on). I could not make it shut off, or start up. Using a second computer I turned to this support site, and by the end of the day I had learned enough to remove the battery over night while the reserve unit charged. The next morning I was able to reset the PMU and as a result I found that I could use the computer. ( I also decided to order a new battery, which is on its way as I write. I realize that it may or may not help). At present I am able to start the laptop by resetting the PMU, and while it is on everything seems fine. However, if I close the case, or put it into sleep mode, it dies immediately. (I am able to use the PMU to restart.)
If you determine what caused your laptop to malfunction I hope that you will post it here for my education...and I will do the same. Thank you. Gferg

Computer Won't Power Up

After a BIOS update that went wrong, I received my mobo a few days ago from MSI. I re-assembled my computer 4 days ago, but started having random crashes. Today I decided to test the memory. When running memtest86 the pc just powered off unexpectedly. I switched it back on again, but after a few minutes it shut off again. This time for good.
I disconnected the power cable and plugged it back in. 4 red lights on the D-bracket flashed, the PSU, CPU, Northbridge and case fans moved slightly and then all went dead. I didn't hear any beeps or other sounds. This response lasted less than a second. Same thing happens if I turn off and on the PSU's power switch. The case power switch generates no response at all.
Here is what I've tried already:
- Cleared the CMOS - No changes
- Striped everything, leaving only the CPU, and then re-assembled one component at a time and powered on and off the PSU after re-assembling each component - No changes
- Unplugged the case's power switch cable and direct contacted the 2 pins with a screw driver (to check if the problem was with the case's power switch) - No changes
Any thoughts?

Exactly Bass, I hope that it wasn't a Windows flash...
That's exactly what it was. However, I got the pc running for 4 days after MSI solved the BIOS problem. After the power up problem I took the pc to the my local tech service and they said it won't power up because the board is dead. Everything else works OK when instaled on another board.
Blazer, I took the battery out and inserted it again but that didn't fix anything. I have no multimeter, so I couldn't test the battery. How long do these batteries last? My pc is 1 1/2 years old (running 24h a day, 7 days a week).

My computer won't power up at all. Battery fully charged. Nothing but black screen.

I tried to use my Mac Book this morning and it won't power up. The battery is fully charged but the screen stays black. Any ideas?

Computer won't power up if the 2x2 CPU POWER connector is plugged in

Yesterday I assembled this computer and it was working great. Played games on it and everything.
MSI K9a2 CF, ATHLON 5000+, LC POWER 550W, RADEON 3850 256MB, 2x1G SUPER TALENT 800MHZ RAM.
3 hours ago I went to the store and left 2x PRIME95 torture test running just to check for stability. After 2hours I got home only to find out the the computer has been shut down but the KEYBOARD still had a light on the NUMLOCK led.
So then I unplugged the PSU from power and started up again. But the PC only started for half a second and then the power went off.
So I pulled everything out of the board only to find out that if the CPU POWER 2x2 connector is in the board then it will not power up. Then I also took out the cpu and try to power up without the CPU and with the CPU POWER 2x2 connector in and it also doesn't power up.
Conclusion:
If the 2x2 CPU power connector is in the MB regardless if the CPU is in or not then the computer will not power on. But if the 2x2 CPU power connector is absent then the computer powers up. But that don't do me any good since without that connector the CPU can't function.
I also tried hooking it up to another PSU but it does no good. The MB, CPU, GPU, RAM, HDDS are only 2days old.
Also it couldn't have overheated since the temperatures never went higher than 50C during full load thx to Scythe Ninja Revision B cooler and also there is no smell or any indication that something could be burned. The temps were checked with BIOS as with MSI probe.
My question is is the MB the problem?? So I would know which part to send back for warranty

Do you use system stock parameters?(No OC)
Check CPU cooling system.
List PSU details(Look over PSU sticker for them)
Everything was at stock speed there was even no tweaking involved.
CPU cooling system was working great. Under load the max temperatures it had gotten was 50C. And also the CASE was opened so there was no chance of overheating. And also when I started PRIME95 I opened the window and closed the radiators which means the room temperature was about 15C celsium only.

It is probably the board right? I must know this quick to RMA it

I installed Firefox 29 on my Mac and now the computer won't go to sleep.

I have a desktop Mac 10.6.8 with OS X. I recently did a software update with Firefox 29.0 and now my computer will not go to sleep. Do I need to revert back to an earlier version of Firefox?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Computer won't go to sleep

I have a Power Mac G4 running 10.4.11. All of a sudden, the system stopped going to sleep when set to do so in Energy Saver. The Screen Saver comes on according to its setting, and the display goes to sleep according to its setting in Energy Saver, but the system does not go to sleep. The system can be put to sleep with no problem using the Apple Menu.
I followed the tips in the Apple Support on sleep such as removing USB & Firewire devices one by one. I have no Bluetooth devices. I did a Safe Boot as suggested without resolving anything. I scanned my system for spyware and viruses without resolving the problem. Any suggestions?

Here's Apple doc.#106214 to guide you thru the Disk Repair.
If that doesn't work, read on;
This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
Here is Apple doc.#303698 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
Also, here is Apple doc.#305262 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Good Luck!  DALE

Computer won't power up, again.

Hi Folks,
I bought a new Mac Book Pro a few weeks ago and suddenly the computer was dead. I was unable to turn it on. I took it to the Apple store and they replaced the computer (I was told a dead logic board). When they replaced the computer, they switched Hard Drives from the previous machine.
I took the new computer home, turned it on, put it to sleep and on trying to wake it up learned it was dead, again. It wouldn't power on. I tried reseting the PRAM but to no avail. Another fried logic board me thinks?
Why would this happen twice? Is there a known logic board issue with a batch of the Mac Book Pro's? What causes logic board failures - an exteranal device, power outlets, power adaptors, hard drives?
Please, help. I don't want to exchange this again only to have another failure.
Any advice/info/guidane is appreciated.

That's my intention. It's clear the computer needs to be replaced.
I just wanted to post to the forums to find out if there are any known issues or similar experiences. I also wanted to learn what may cause a logic board failure - such as hard drives or power adaptors - so I'm informed when speaking to someone at the Apple Store.

*HELP!!! Computer Won't Power Up...Shuts Off!*

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right section, but I'll post here anyway. Mods please move if needed.
Here's the problem:
Several days ago, I went to put my computer to sleep mode before heading to bed. Usually takes a few seconds before the screen shuts down and it goes into sleep mode. After 5 minutes I noticed that the monitor was still on. Went to move my cursor and the mouse was not responding. My computer had basically froze. So me wanting to go to bed, had just pushed the power button on the front of the computer to turn it off. Fast forward to the morning. Pushed power button on...screen turns on with Apple logo and rotating circle thingy (please excuse the non-technical terms). After about 2 minutes, I hear the fan just about to turn on and the computer shuts off! I try it again...same results. Checked the manual and thought re-setting the PRAM settings (Option, Command, P, R) will fix things. Nada. It's been going on for about a week now. I'm not a technical person with computers, so I'm an my ends wit here. This computer is too big to lug over to the Apple Store. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Computer won't power on

I have a Compac Persario desktop that has been working just fine with no problems. I have had it plugged into a surge protector and shut it down every night or when there is the chance of a storm. Last night, I shut it down like normal, and when I got up this morning, it won't turn on. The power switch on the computer does nothing. Nothing lights up and there is no sound from the cooling fan in the back. Everything else plugged into the surge protector works, including the speakers and the monitor. Could I have a bad power cord? How soon do things like this happen? I've never seen one quit working overnight unless there was an electrical problem, but everything else is working just fine. What should my next step be?

You can use this genric guide to test the PSU. Please state the complete model # of your computer for assistance. In general, an ATX replacement (energy efficient) should cost $40-50.

Computer won't wake from sleep

For some reason when I leave my computer alone for more than about 15 mins and the display goes to sleep, I cannot wake it back up. I have to hold down the power button to force a restart. I would prefer not to do this as I lose everything that I was working on. I just did a clean (format and reinstall) install of Snow Leopard last week and downloaded all the updates as per Software Update.
Here is the report I get when I reboot the machine:

Sounds like you need to take it to Apple if it's under warranty or AppleCare, or to a repair shop.

Computer won't go to sleep (again)

About 2 weeks ago everything as fine; I was able to put my computer with no problem. A few weeks before that I put in a new PRAM battery and new Memory Modules. But coming back on my vacation this past Wednesday I find out I can't put my computer to sleep again!!! I'm at the point of frustration where it is annoying that I have to keep shutting down my computer If I'm not going to use for a 2 hours or more.
Now I've been backing up like crazy on my external HD. Sometimes I wonder if it has something to do with my computer since I noticed it takes awhile before I see the icon. I don't know. Right at this point I can not afford another computer and I want to be able to figure something out.
I even looked up former posts that someone has this same issue. I even tried this:
"go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password)." Still nothing!!!

I case you haven't seen this;
This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"

Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
Check the printer queue!"

Computer Won't Go To Sleep When Closed

When I close my computer, it doesn't go to sleep, the light just stays on. This started last night -- my computer was open and I thought it was plugged in, but it wasn't so the power ran out. When I plugged it in, I had to wait a few minutes while the computer got a bit of charge (even plugged in) in order to turn on the computer. But since then, when I close it, it doesn't go to sleep. If I hit the power button and put the computer to sleep, it will stay sleeping when I close the computer. Any thoughts?

There are many possible reasons for this problem. Here one thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/1674788#1674788
The best bet is, to check the error logs: open Console (Applications > Utilities) and paste here the last lines ... I am sure, there must be a daemon trying in vain to connect to the internet ...

My computer won't go into sleep mode

I have my energy settings mode to have my monitor go off after 15 minutes, and my harddrive after 20. Yet after I installed Leopard, my monitor stays on, and I can hear my harddrive spin in the middle of the night.
What's going on? It was working under Tiger.

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
Here is Apple doc.#303698 with their tips.
